The Center for Social Policy provides expertise on policies and practices to eliminate racial, gender, class, and economic inequities. Boasting a longstanding commitment to community participation and equity, CSP explores the root causes of economic hardship by examining the intersection of public policies and employment in order to inform fundamental changes in policy and service delivery. CSP works in collaboration with constituents, community, and philanthropic partners to generate actionable solutions to complex social challenges to make meaningful and measurable changes to policy and practice.
